    MATTER OF: O
                    Dora M. McDonald - Involuntary Leave        /

    DIGEST:
               Department of the Air Force applied for employee's
               disability retirement,  Employee was placed on
               involuntary leave because of.medical opinion that
               employee was incapable of peiforming the duties of
               her position.  Employee is not entitled to reim-
               bursement for loss of pay for period she was in
               leave-without-pay status even though Civil Service
               Comission  later determined that the employee was
               not shown by medical evidence to suffer from total
               disability for useful and efficient service. The
               Department of the Air Force's placement of the
               employee on involuntary leave was not unjustified
               or  uawarranted personnel action within backpay
               statute in that it was based on the medical deter-
               mination that the employee was incapacitated for
               duty.

     Mrs. Dora M. McDonald has requested reconsideration of her claim for
backpay and restoratioa ol leave for the period June 25, 1973, through
June 6, 1974, during which time she was involuntarily placed on leave by
the Department of the Air Force pending a Civil Service Comission (CSC)
decision on an application filed by McConnell Air Force Baoe (Ar) for
her disability retirement.

     The record shows that on May 1, 1973, the Department of the Air
Force, McConnell AP, Kansas, took action to remove Dora M. McDonald from
her position as a. Licensed Practical Nurse, GS-621-04. She appealed this
decision to the Civil Service Comission which directed that the removal
action be cancelled and that she be restored to her position retroactively
to May 1, 1973.  On June 25, 1973, when Mrs, McDonald returned to duty,
she was advised in writing that medical information obtained by the
Hospital Cotmmander during her absence indicated that she was incapable of
performing the duties of her position. At that time 4rs. McDonald was
involuntarily placed on sick leave for the remainder of the day Lnd was
continued on sick leave or annual leave until her leave accumulation was
exhausted on August 7, 1973. This action was taken in accordance with
Subchapter 510 of the Federal Personnel Manual Supplement 831-1. See
also 5 C.F.R. 0 831.1206. On August 8, 1973, Mrs. McDonald was placed
